Prerequisite: Your dog needs to know how to sit on
verbal cue or with hand signal. You will need to attend an orientation
unless you have completed Basic Skills. There is only one orientation
required and once attended, you may take Basic Skills or Polite
Greetings.

If your dog needs help all around with many skills, it's highly
recommended that you take Basic Skills first. If your dog pulls
continuously on leash, not situationally around people and dogs, it's
highly recommended that you take Basic Skills first.

Price: $25 people-only orientation, $50 for the
two working sessions

Note: Group classes are not suitable for
your shy,
fearful, reactive or aggressive dog. For assistance with these
